  • Solar Stocks Rebounding, Is It Time to Buy? [View article]
    While I am holding many solar shares, it would be wise to use all of mother natures resources so we can reduce the foreign oil aka Opec drain. We should look for balance in life & keep the inovations coming...Plus if we can reduce our waste, like we have reduced the need for foreign oil, it will be a win-win for the USA and others who do likewise. What if: the earth's center is similar to a car engine and will explode because we are taking too much oil and water out??? Has anyone thought about the excesses that the USA just takes for granted? We are smart people with an integration of cultural genius from the different educational systems...IF ONLY WE WOULD UNITE FOR PEACE, THE WORLD WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PLACE and it will probably last longer. Look what GREED got all the Madoff investors... they are crying about how much they lost now but if they had invested over 9 years with him, they already were in a profit position.

  • How We Can Avoid Another Tragic Ponzi Scheme  [View article]
    The Federal Government, aka: Lawmakers, don't want to TAX THEMSELVES & FAMILY/FRIENDS...The Lower Tax Brackets get the government they deserve because they don't get off their butts to make the system more equal...My theories: BOYCOTT the offenders, banks or corporations that are sending jobs out of the country & get referendums on the ballot to: take control of our politicians by freezing their salaries, giving the same healthcare with deductibles & copays, make them work throughout the year & change their pension as they retire @ full salary, cut the rest of their so generous perks, etc., & change their motivation from SELF-SERVICE to PUBLIC-SERVICE...This should make them value voters instead of soft-money from lobbyists. WE need to stop Pork-Barrel Spending which only continues to deteriorate our democracy. Why do our politicians get an office with utilities, postage, and a secretary for the rest of their lives free of charge when they are working for themselves in retirement?? This all can be accomplished if we UNITE, but the powers that be keep the racial-ethnic-sexual conflict ongoing to keep us divided...Most people don't read anything worthwhile & need someone else's name on their butts to make something out of themselves...We also need to REINSTATE THE GLASS-STEGAL ACT which makes the Board of Directors & Upper Management directly liable to be sued for damages in courts...When this law was replaced by some unimpressive, no-nothing law, TYCO, ENRON, etc., happened...ergo cause & effect!! WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO TO GET PEOPLE TOGETHER TO SAVE YOUR COUNTRY?? HOW HARD WILL YOU WORK FOR THIS CONCEPT?? Begin by talking to your friends to get them interested in STANDING UP FOR THEIR COUNTRY! We did it with Vietnam...It almost got done with the current BUSH WARS but the media is being controlled by the political machine & the campaign ran for 2 yrs. DID OUR POLITICIANS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS COLLECT THEIR SALARIES?? WOULD WE BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS? You need to focus on yourself, and stop looking to the Federal Government to make changes that will be good for the lower classes as it won't happen! I am with you on this & hope you can get people interested...Good Luck because you will find that most people just want to complain...
